Artist's Comments

Yay! I'm finally getting some work done on this tutorial! Parts 2 and 3 are almost ready too. They just have some minor details that need to be added.

Hit the download button to see the tutorial at it's full size!

Part 1 - Measurements
Part 2 - Choosing fabric [link]
Part 3 - Kimono pieces [link]
Part 4 - Sewing the sleeves (coming soon)
Part 5 - Sewing the body and attaching the sleeves (coming soon)
Part 6 - Attaching the collar and finishing (coming soon)

Oh! And one more thing! I just found this neat website for figuring out your kimono size. Under the waist measurement put in the part of your body that is widest (hips, bust or waist) to get better results: [link]

Still, it might be best to take some measurements for your arms and such just to be safe since everyone's proportions are different.

YAY! I can wait to get the whole tutorial and attempt to make my first kimono! I tried to make a yukata last year but I had problems with the collar and stuff like that, it ended up looking decent... Except for the top half :P... So I hope this will come out a little better :D!
